functiongetMolarMasses_fromRecord
gets molar masses from record
Extends from TransiEnt.Basics.Icons.Function.
Information
1. Purpose of model
This function supplies the molar masses of the components passed by the input vector.
2. Level of detail, physical effects considered, and physical insight
No physical effects considered.
3. Limits of validity
(no remarks)
4. Interfaces
(no remarks), just input and output vectors.
5. Nomenclature
(no elements)
6. Governing Equations
No governing equations. The function just searches the name vector in the molar masses record for the component names passed. Then it returns the molar mass defined in the molar mass vector in the record.
7. Remarks for Usage
- To unify this function the input vector must contain shortened component names or chemical formulas for the components, e.g. "Methane", or "CH4"
- If there's no corresponding entry for the component in the molar masses record, the molar mass will be supplied as zero, which might cause troubles (e.g. division by zero)
8. Validation
No validation needed. Tested in check model "TransiEnt.Basics.Functions.GasProperties.Check.TestConvertMoleToMassFraction"
